This was a gift for my husband who needs strong coffee to get going in the morning. The box seemed quite small, but my husband was very pleased with the number of beans it contained. The instructions seem easy enough.

With six different coffee beans and simple instructions that are split across two days, I found this an ideal activity for a chronic illness sufferer, like myself. Do check that your oven gets hot enough, to at least 230 degrees Celsius. One of my counter tops only goes up to 220. The first bag that I went with was the yellow bourbon and chose the timing for a medium roast. Surprisingly, the beans began to change colour quickly and the process was enjoyable to watch. I think I heard a couple of cracks too, but my mini oven is noisy. Once done, the card suggested that they were the colour of a medium to dark roast.The de-chaffing basket works well, but a favourable part of the process for me, was the smell of freshly roasted coffee. It even had hints of a tea scent, which going by what I had read, was a good thing. The next day, I ground the beans down and poured water through them. The aroma was still lovely, but the taste was far too strong for me. I also couldn’t pick up any of the notes, let alone fruity ones. With that in mind, I chose to do the rest of them as a lighter roast, but they still came out strong. I found it difficult to pick up some notes, although the woody, tobacco and chocolate ones were the easiest to find. Adding oat milk did help to bring out some of the flavours. Once ground down, it worked out that I could get approximately three cups of coffee out of each set of beans. Overall, I had good fun with this kit and it was definitely an unusual experience.

Fun to try
This Coffee Roasting Kit is fun to try.It is good for beginners and contains six different types of green beans, degassing bags, coffee filters, and dechaffing tools, I only need an oven to brew the coffee. This is the first time I brew coffee by myself, I think it’s a good try.

My Dad is a coffee lover so for his birthday I wanted to get him something coffee-related but a little different. He absolutely loved this – the taste, the process – it keeps a coffee lover occupied for quite a while!

Nice assortment and would make a very nice gift for a coffee lover, but I’m enjoying it myself!
This is a really nice gift idea for a coffee lover that likes to try different varieties, or just for yourself as well. I have never roasted coffee before and it was both fun and easy. You receive everything you need to roast and finish 6 different types of coffee, with the exception of a grinder. I have tried two of the six varieties, and both were very good. After roasting, removing the skin with the de-chaffer, and letting the beans sit, they were ready to grind. I used them in my French press and the coffee was wonderful. I think part of the enjoyment was knowing I roasted them myself and that they were super fresh roasted when used in the French press. There are a little less than 2 oz of each bean, so you don’t get a lot, but for trying out coffee roasting and different types, this is really fun and enjoyable. It’s also a great way to find out which type of bean you like the best for future use.
